2. FISH PRODUCTION
Fish is a cheap source of animal protein for our
food. Fish production includes the finned true fish
as well as shellfish such as prawns and molluscs.
There are two ways of obtaining fish. One is from
natural resources, which is called capture fishing.
The other way is by fish farming, which is called
culture fishery.
The water source of the fish can be either seawater
or fresh water, such as in rivers and ponds. Fishing
can thus be done both by capture and culture of
fish in marine and freshwater ecosystems.

3. MARINE FISHERIES
India’s marine fishery resources include 7500 km of
coastline and the deep seas beyond it. Popular marine
fish varieties include pomphret, mackerel, tuna, sardines,
and Bombay duck.
Marine fish are caught using many kinds of fishing nets
from fishing boats. Yields are increased by locating large
schools of fish in the open sea using satellites and echo-
sounders. Some marine fish of high economic value are
also farmed in seawater.
This includes finned fishes like mullets, bhetki, and pearl
spots, shellfish such as prawns (Fig. 15.5), mussels and
oysters as well as seaweed. Oysters are also cultivated for
the pearls they make.

4. Fresh Water And Marine Prawns
As marine fish stocks get further depleted, the
demand for more fish can only be met by such
culture fisheries, a practice called mariculture.

5. INLAND FISHERIES
Inland fisheries deal with canals, ponds, reservoirs and rivers.
It also includes freshwater bodies like in rivers, canals,
reservoirs and lagoons as well as brackish water fisheries.
Some of the inland fish varieties are as follows:
• Rohu
• Catla
• Mrigal
• Silver carp

7. A combination of five or six fish species selected
according to their different fooding habits are used in a
single fishpond so that they donot compete for food
among them resulting in the consumption of all the
available food resources in the pond.

8. Bee Keeping
The act of rearing, raising and caring of honey bee
on a large scale to obtain honey and wax from
them is called apiculture.

9. Varieties of bees used for profitable
honey production are as follows:
• Apis dorsata (Rock bee)
• Apis florea (Little bee)
• Apis indica (Indian bee)
• Apis mellifica (European bee)

10. The quality depends upon the
following factors:
• Pasturage or the kind of flowers
availableto the bees to collect the nectar
and pollen grains.
• Kind of flowers available determines the
taste.
